Chapter 43: Large-scale battles
Ma Youde looked into the distance, only to see 3 kilometers away, under a towering mountain peak, the silver carpet was covered with crawling villains, with the middle line of fire as the demarcation point, the two sides opened a front of about 500 meters, bullets were flying like beans, and the US military had an advantage in numbers, so it felt a bit of an illusion of gaining the upper hand.
To look carefully, the bullets fired by the US army almost never hit the volunteer soldiers, and an army composed of the 39th Army and the 38th Army can be said to be an elite army, and those with slightly worse combat ability have been wounded and withdrawn to the rear, and now the rest are like tigers and wolves.
"Quick, while the U.S. military hasn't come to their senses, blow them up again!" Ma Youde shouted excitedly.
The soldier who was busy loading the shells was sweating on his head, but he still didn't want people to take his place, so he pushed the shells into the barrel, and he said happily: "I want to blow him up this time!" Don't stop me, haha, it's so enjoyable! ”
After Wei San adjusted the two more cannons, he didn't use the other cannons, not because he didn't want to, because he said: "Take advantage of the enemy's planes not to arrive, just fire a few shots if you can, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it when the time comes." ”
The U.S. military was not stupid, and the commander understood after a few rounds of shelling that the unit in the high rear was not the South Korean Army, and this discovery made him even more annoyed, and called for air reinforcement again, as well as his own artillery.
Air support is used to deal with the threat behind their buttocks, artillery is used to deal with the volunteers who are ready to charge, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Army is not weak, and it has also fought many big battles, although the battle has caused them to lose more than 5,000 people, but they also let the volunteers pay more than 2,000 lives.
The entire 39th Army was crippled, and now that it has been mixed with the 38th Army, the total number of troops has been reduced to the original number of an army, and it is not easy to fight like this, because the enemy's firepower is fierce, and the number is superior, and it is not a waste like the South Korean Army, and this achievement can be proud of.
After the shells from the 358th Regiment fell into the crowd of American troops, Li Yunlong, who was also under the main peak, felt that the opportunity had come, he inserted his Browning pistol back into the holster, snatched the M3 in the hands of a soldier and shouted: "Wolf cubs, rush with Lao Tzu!" ”
The 112th Division saw that the comrades of the 113th Division had launched a charge, and they climbed up from the snow regardless of the danger to their lives, and the power of the heavy firepower of the American army was displayed, and the barrage was woven into a dense net, so that the soldiers who rushed in the front row fell, and the shells fired from the direction of the 358th Regiment suddenly made the American machine guns dumb, and when the secondary shooters filled up again, the charge of the volunteer soldiers had narrowed the distance between the two sides by 30 meters.
Li Yunlong was still leading the charge, a soldier threw him to the ground from behind, a yellow ray flew by, almost killing Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong helped the soldier up, when he stood up, Li Yunlong did not have the slightest fear on his face, the fighter plane was fleeting, if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity created for them by the 358th regiment, how the battle would change, no one could guess.
Why does Li Yunlong never suffer losses, because he is a person who can seize the opportunity to create the greatest advantage for himself! It's just a profiteer who gets cheap and gets on it!
"Don't pull me! Those who are afraid of death are all sent to Lao Tzu to go back to China, Lao Tzu's soldiers are beasts like wolves, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, we are wolves, the American troops over there are meat, go and tear off the meat on their bodies for Lao Tzu! ”
Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the soldiers kept pulling the battle line closer, and the momentum of not being afraid of life and death made the Yankees of the 1st Army feel trembling, are these people crazy?
The 358th Regiment became nervous at this time, and suddenly became the fire support of the stormtrooping soldiers, looking at the heavy machine guns that resounded again due to intermittent artillery fire, and then looking at the soldiers who fell to the ground, they suddenly understood in their hearts how difficult it was for artillery, this was watching their brothers fall in front of them.
The soldiers of the 358th Regiment with a heart like a knife exerted twelve points of strength, resisting the shells on their shoulders in advance and anxiously waiting for reloading, so as to save every second of time to fire one more shell.
It is worth mentioning that after arriving at the battlefield, the US planes actually turned around and dropped the bombs they brought into the main battlefield when they were hovering overhead...... It seems that they have recognized the wrong person, are the eyes of the US military not good?
Wei San wandered between the cannons, constantly adjusting the angle of the howitzer, he couldn't guarantee that he would hit the target exactly as he expected, because one person to adjust ten howitzers, but also to calculate the data, how strong a brain does this need to do?
However, Wei San's estimate still received very good results, and every shell that exploded was basically exploded around the enemy's heavy machine gun, which gave the charging volunteer soldiers time to close the distance, and the two armies successively merged into the camp of the American army, and a large-scale hand-to-hand combat began!
Speaking of stabbing, the U.S. military has to call us our ancestors, firepower can't fight, who are we afraid of playing with knives!?
For a while, the gunfire of the exchange of fire was quiet, the shouting and killing were loud, and the majestic roar, even if it was three kilometers apart, was heard by the soldiers of the 358 Regiment, and the entire 358 Regiment felt that their blood was boiling, and they didn't care about the howitzers left behind, and ran towards the battlefield with Zhang Weimin's footsteps.
The commander-in-chief of the 1st Army saw that under the premise of such a fire blockade, the volunteers still rushed to their camp, and he exclaimed: "Chinese, all crazy!" Fall back! Fall back! ”
The 1st Army still withdrew, because more than 20 tanks were driven from the direction of their retreat to give them cover, and the tanks that had been useless were now used to cover the retreat of friendly forces.
The volunteer soldiers could no longer take advantage, so they took the initiative to give up the pursuit, the battle was over, and the casualties were counted, and it was found that it was still a 1:2 data, although the 1st Army suffered heavy losses, it was still counted as an army.
The thirty-eighth, the Ninth Army is different, plus the casualties this time, together with the 358 regiment that rushed in, the total number of people once dropped to the lowest point, only more than 8,000 people remained, the original two armies of nearly 20,000 troops, at this time there are less than half left, what kind of casualty rate is this, from the data point of view, it is not a loss, but such a sacrifice has made the two armies lose their army-level establishment at the same time, and the two armies can be re-formed into one army when they are combined.
Sure enough, after reporting to the superiors, the establishment of the 39th Army was abolished and merged into the 38th Army, Liang Xingchu was still the commander, and all the commanders above the company level of the original 39th Army recognized their deputy positions.
The name of the 38th Army was also changed, and now they are called the 7th Infantry Army.
The defeated and retreating Army 1st Army, with the remnants of 9,000 people, withdrew from Changjin Lake, relying on the Panshan Mountain in the south of Changjin Lake, and fortified it.
